Plain-English summary
Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation is recalling three units of the Terumo Advanced Perfusion System 1 Ultrasonic Air Sensor 1/4x1/16 UAS BLK, Catalog Number 5785. The affected units have UDI 00886799000045 and serial numbers 20230, 20263, and 20265. These sensors are intended for use with Terumo and Sarns brand air detection and heart-lung systems to detect gross air bubbles in the line during extracorporeal procedures.
The recall was initiated after internal testing at the supplier revealed that a crimped wire was placed into the air bubble detector sensor connector backwards. This installation error prevents the crimped wire from locking into the mating wire connector, resulting in an intermittent connection. This defect may cause false air bubble alarms.
The affected products were distributed worldwide and nationwide in the United States. Users of these devices should contact Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation for further instructions regarding the recall.
